We are looking for one at the moment that can take 2, and honestly, to get in 3, I think you will need to go for a commodore or falcon, they are the only things we have seen that would fit them comfortably and allow the driver to put heir seat back (that aren't SUVs, 4WDs, or People Movers - none of which we want if we can help it) But DH is tall, and we need the room for him to drive the car with a rearward seat in the middle...Commodore it is!
We have a Honda Odyessey (sp?) which seats 7. It's not an SUV - kinda like a fancy wagon. Its really beaut. The 2 back seats have anchor points so you can comfortably transport 4 in car seats (5 kids altogether). Or you have the option of folding down the back row and having a massive boot area for prams etc. We also have an older model camry station wagon and the boot size is not as big as the Honda with the back row folded. Of course you have the option of just folding down one chair also.
It's not a cheap car however, but like you - we only wanted to make one purchase (instead of one now and another a few years down the track if we have more bubs). So the Honda has been a solid investment for us - but a very sound one. It also comes with the 5 star (highest) safety rating with surround airbags. It has won 'people mover of the year' numerous times - so even the older models come highly rated. I would seriously consider looking at 2nd hand models if you like it but are wanting a cheaper $- we have zero complaints!!
I saw a funky car the other day! I followed it thinking it was a Grandis.
It was a Citroen and had seven seats...all full with kiddies Looked very nice.
